Chicken and Rice Casserole

This is one of my FAVORITE comfort type family meals. We have been making it in our family my entire life. It is not the most healthy (although you could do much worse), however it is simple, and wonderful to enjoy. Also it reheats easily for fantastic leftovers, and you can easily adjust for more people if you ever need to feed a crowd. It isn't the "prettiest" dish, but it tastes WAY better than it looks! The full recipe and directions are at the very bottom for those who like to copy and paste :). I do ask that if you use this recipe you would link back to me. Thanks so much and enjoy!

Here is what you need: 1 can of Campbell's cream of chicken, 1 can of Campbell's cream of celery, 1 can of Campbell's cream of mushroom, 1 cup of rice, 6-8 frozen chicken breasts or 12-16 frozen tenders, a stick of butter, and one can of milk (not pictured)

It is very easy to make simply empty the three cans into a 9 x 13 (or larger) pan. Ignore that it doesn't look very good at all, it gets better I promise!

Then use one of the empty cans, fill it with milk, and add it to your pan.

Then mix, and evenly spread this mixture in the pan. Then sprinkle 1 cup of rice evenly over the mixture.

You then use a spatula to gently push the rice into the soup mixture. (I always add a bit of extra rice, but don't add too much or it will be dry)

Then take a stick of melted butter, and coat your frozen chicken. This helps the chicken brown, when it is done.

Simply place the chicken on top of your soup & rice mixture, in any manner you see fit. Make sure that they do not overlap for even cooking.

You can add more or less chicken depending on how many you are serving or how much leftovers you would like.

Then place it in the oven at 300 F for 2 hours. Until it is golden brown around the edges and bubbly. I always take a meat thermometer and to make sure the chicken is fully cooked.

Allow it to cool, then serve and enjoy!

As promised for you copy and paste people here is the full recipe and ingredients.
